1t is time that the democracy of our
county should be up and doing. The
nominations were deferred so that a
short and vigorous campaign would
be made. Ouly little more than the
month Of October remains for active
party work, and none of it should be
lost. Let the candidates then agree
at the earliest opportunity on a plan
of campaign, and move upon the field
OF action. Our ticket is good one,
representing the honor, intelligence
and political integrity of our county,
and with earnest and active work
will win. Rouse then, We democrats,
to the duties you owe your party and
your country. Determine from this
time hence that you will spare no
effort for the success of your party
that party that has added billions Of
acres to your countrys territorial
limits, with all their vast wealth; the
party that has protected the laborer
from the killing grasp of monopolies,
and is to-day striving to relieve you
of that oppressive burden of tariff
taxatIon that ccmpe,s You to pay an
axtfs price for sugar that sweetens
Jour coliee, aud tne ploughshare that
turns the sods of your fields; the party
that has never yet been guilty of
stealing from fifty millions of people
the right to chose their Chief Execu-
tive.

ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON.

Owing to Ill Health His Plans for West
Trip Changed.
New York Letter In Philadelphia Press.
AS was about to leave my office to go ont of
town on Friday afternoon / heard that Robert
Louis Stevenson was at the St Stephens, in
Eleventh street. l decided to see him, even If
it were necessary to take a later train and ac-
cordney around to the hotel and sent mp
my card The boy who took 1t returned at once
and showed me to the poet and romsncer's ROOM
When Mr.. Stevenson arrived in New York
few weeks ago l expressed surprise at his COM
paratively robust appearance. So far from
seeming a confirmed invalid, he had the appear
ance of a man in fairly good physical condition:
When / saw him two days ago, however, all
this was changed. and changed for the worse.
He was no longer walking briskly about the
drawn dp abou, him. He shook hands coraially'
and seemed glad to SEQ me. and would doubtless
have let me sit while he talked and listened by
turns until his strength was completely ex-
hausted, but his wife, who was on the point of
going out wisely exacted a promise from me to
stay but little while. The trip from this city
to Newport had proved eXhausting to her hus-
band, and while visiting there he was confined
to the house the whole time, his illness times
being This unfortunate relapse had
knocked on the head such plans as he had ven
tursd to lay, and Mrs. Stevenson hurrying

Mr.. Stevenson lighted cigarette while was
sitting by his bedside might have doubted
that it was he If he had notl. and chatted for
few minutes with animation. All of his con-
versation that can repeat is the expression of
his surprise and pleasure at the heartiness of
his reception in America. He quite unpre-
pared to find how we'll his books thought OF
here and how interest is felt IN his
personality. For my own part, can see nothing
to be surprised at in this. That the works OF
man of genius should be generally read and
admired when his genius is devoted to
such popular branches of literature fiction
and poetry, and he possesses the art and the in
clnation to make his writings clear to the COM
prehension of all readers, is not thing to excite
wonder; and that the world should feel hearty
interest in an author who puts into his books
so much of himself, and that self sunny and
unselfish q one. is no more astonishing. Handi-
capped as he is by i'll health, Mr.. Stevenson yet
finds life apundantly worth living, and upon his
enjoyment of life and the original strength of his
constitution is based the hope that he may con-
tinue to delight the world for many years by the
exercise of his unusual powers of description

of cheers. but they apparently fell on deaf
ears, for though looking directly over the
of faces the General gave no sign of response
and Mayor Francis seized the opportunity of
lull TO introduce ex-Vice-President Hannibal
Hamlin.
The gray-haired.old man was greeted with a
storm of applause, and during short and g 10
quent address was frequently interrupted by
loud and prolonged cheers
Governor Oglesby, of Illinois, kept up the en-
thnsiasm by jocular assault on General Sher
man for not responding TO repeated calls AS
ne retired the name of Sherman few from
eressed Ds m'u'h hv ana an 0vassn
to answer to the call He said that
when ne was once soldier he had an
OLD trick of sending brgadier to hard place,
and he thought Governor Oglesby good substi-
tute. In abiding to the war he said he had
many friends on the other side. He then
thought they were in error now he knew they
were in error. He believed that they were be-
coming convinced of this themselves at any rate
they were returning to that old friendly feeling
drawing ever nearer. There were
some black sheep. he knew. but
die off, thank God. and then this would be
better, stronger nation. He believed this
the stror eest nation on earth. for he had con-
Guided that no other power could have
overcome such formidable rebellion. and he
looked with pride upon the flag that commands
peace and enforces it. Before him were the
faces of soldiers; they still live and their spirits
will live forever. for they would teach their
children and generations to come the principles
that must rule the land. If the Constitution
must be improved, the defect. he
said. must be pointed ont. but not
destroyed by civil war. He sometimes thought
the comrades believed him heartless when ne
sent them into battle. knowing that many he
would never see again; but he knew the penalty
had TO be paid, and peace had TO be dearly
bought He repeated Mayor Francis's welcome
to St Louis and emphasized his feeling that the
Union sentiments of the Mayor wore good
enough for him. Tomorrow he said the boys
would show their appreciation of the welcome
by grand parade, and at 10 o'clock they would
march rain or shine, for such had been the
order from the commander-in chief.
In the burst of applause that followed General
Sherman found opportunity to retire and the
echo died out the band struck up Marching
Through Georgia" The veterans quickly
caught the tune and 1000 voices rent the air
again and again until the hall re-echoed with
their cheers.
Governor Thayer, of Nebraska; Governor
Sprague, of Rhode Island; Governor Solomon, of
California, and other honored guests made short
speeches and the evenings reception chosen with
three rousing cheers.

When President Day was asked in regard to
the per cent. system he said: so far as New
York is concerned there is entire satisfaction
with the present system. We make more money
that way. However, 1 admit that the per-
